Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the fries.
Cut the potatoes into fry-like shapes and place them in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss to coat.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
While the fries are baking, prepare the seitan. In a separate bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss with the seitan slices until well coated with the spice mixture.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned seitan to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and crispy on the edges.
Slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion thinly. Chop the parsley and set all vegetables aside.
Warm the pita breads slightly in the oven for about 2-3 minutes or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side.
To assemble the gyro wraps, spread a generous amount of vegan tzatziki sauce on each pita bread. Place a portion of the cooked seitan over the sauce, followed by slices of tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Roll the pita bread up tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately with a side of crispy fries.
